Encountering an unauthorized occupant in your reserved train seat? Indian Railways offers clear procedures to reclaim your spot. Approach the Traveling Ticket Examiner (TTE) first. If unresolved, utilize the RailMadad portal or call helpline 139. For persistent issues, seek assistance from the RPF or GRP. These official channels ensure a calm resolution.

Indian Railways will implement a new online ticket booking rule. From October 1, 2025, only Aadhaar-verified IRCTC users can book reserved general tickets. This applies for the first 15 minutes of the reservation window. The measure aims to ensure fair access for genuine users. After 15 minutes, all registered users can book. Station counter bookings remain unchanged.
